Trying to sync Centro via Bluetooth (64-bit)

Hello, I have a new 64-bit system, and I'm trying to sync my Centro. Having now discovered the 64-bit USB problem, I've configured the phone to sync via Bluetooth. Now, everything seems to be set up properly. The phone initiates the Hotsync, and it connects just fine. The problem is that I have not been able to complete one single Hotsync. I know that Bluetooth is slow, but I even tried putting on the Hotsync overnight. The next morning there was absolutely no progress! Even if Bluetooth is slow, that seems to be an excessive amount of time.
Any ideas?

Do you have a BlueTooth radio in your computer? Did it pair correctly with the Centro before you tried to Hotsync?
Many folks have to purchase a BlueTooth USB adapter (a "dongle" ) to add this ability.

Can't sync Centro via USB in Windows 7

Hi, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (clean install). I had previously used Vista and could sync just fine. My sync freezes at 2 or 12. The weird thing is there are two instances of "Date Book" listed in the hotsync window. Also two each "Address Book, "To Do List," and "Memo Pad."
I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 that I just downloaded from Palm.com. After running into trouble, I followed some of the troubleshooting items on the Palm support site. I unistalled Palm Desktop and reinstalled, but got the same thing.
I think the issue is the drive. When I look in Device Manager, I get a small gray question mark next to the device. Not sure if that's an issue. I tried reinstalling the driver by clicking "Update Driver" in the device manager and pointing to this filepath: C:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver. It said in installed okay, but then I still get this freeze when trying to sync.
Help!

Fixed problem with help of tech in this thread.
Turns out it was a corrupted date book entry and had nothing to do with Windows 7.

Transfer Failed message when trying to send pics via bluetooth

I used to have no problem sending pictures from my LG Vu to my Macbook Pro via bluetooth but ever since I sent my Mac in for repair and got it back from apple it no longer does this. Both the phone and my Macbook will connect and the download will start, but then my Macbook disconnects and I get a Transfer Failed message on my screen. If anyone knows how to fix this bug I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Try deleting your Bluetooth set up and re-doing as if it was from the beginning.

Trying to play music via bluetooth?

Hi,
I just purchased a gear4 HouseParty Rise Wireless 2 and I've managed to pair both my iPhone and MacBook Pro via bluetooth with it.
When playing the music through my iPhone via bluetooth, there is no problems whatsoever. But when I play music through my MacBook and select "Use as Audio Device" in the bluetooth menu, the MacBook connects fine, but there is no sound coming out of the stereo.
Is there a reason for this? or a fix?
Thanks,
Ross

I've done that, and still no sound is coming out the speakers....
It does say the "type" of the device is Bluetooth Headphones, when its a stereo, if that makes any difference?

Trying to Sync Z10 via Companion Link with ACT 2013

Hi All,
Looking for some help with the following issue: When I try and sync my Z10 via Companion Link with Act 2013 I get an error message in blackberry link then the sync fails:
C Preferences Manager: Configuration Value for / Preferences / Account_1_65537/ DevicePin not set in Transconfig.xml for translater RimBB
used to work sometimes until i updated the software. would be gratefull for any ideas
Dave

I have no experience with the third-party application you are referring to but I have the feeling that it is designed to sync with devices using Legacy Conduits.
Legacy Conduits used on OS4 and before (and a very few of the early OS5 devices): Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad.
Extended Conduits used on modern devices: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos.

Isync not opening and won't sync via bluetooth

Hey guys,
I have an older SE W810i cell phone and I'm trying to use isync via bluetooth to sync. Everything was syncing perfectly up until MobileMe was released. Now I cannot sync at all. However, I can browse the device via Bluetooth.
When I click on isync in my dock, isync bounces 1 time and does not open.
Is this something to do with mobile me or does it sound like an issue with isync?
Thanks for any advice!

It's nothing to do with MobileMe and is more likely related to a recent Mac OS X Update.
Move the iSync application to the desktop, then move it back into the Applications folder. Then see if it will load.

Lightroom mobile sync "hangs" - I am trying to sync several small LR collections from my desktop computer. The first collection syncs, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang. It shows "Syncing 150 photos" in top left, but never progresses even after c

I am using Lightroom 5.5 on OS X. I have created several small collections with about 180 images and I am trying to sync them via Lightroom mobile for later iPad access. The first collection syncs properly, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang. The label in the upper right shows "Syncing 150 photos" but does not count down. Opening and closing LR does not restart the process.

PROBLEM STILL EXISTS...
I spoke to soon! I tried adding a couple of more collections to sync. Lightroom shows "Syncing 814" photos on upper left, but never apparently syncs any. If I exit Lightroom it notifies me there are 814 images to sync. When I reopen it seems to pick up and stall where it left off. These new collections are not posting - this is the same problem as before.
I am pretty sure there is a serious bug in Lightroom here. I encourage support to contact me.

Slowness in changing iPod track via Bluetooth

Dear all
I am using my iPhone 3GS in my car syncing it via Bluetooth. It works fine but, since upgrading to iOS 5, when I change the track using the car button, if I change immediately again the track, it takes 3 long seconds to do it on the iPhone. The problem is that I cannot select the previous track due to this delay. Did sb experience similar issue ?
Than you very much

Ipod Touch Via Bluetooth wrote:
so the only was is to use the cable to connnect it from my notebook to Ipod touch??
depends. for syncing and software updates: yes.
for putting e.g. MS Office files or .pdf files on it: check out e.g. _*Flash Drive*_ or _*Documents To Go*_. both require a wi-fi connection, though.
what about if I download any bluetooth program from the App Store ( For Example: iBlueNova ).
searching the app store for iBlueNova did not bring up anything for me. instead, search for +bluetooth fileshare+. maybe that app is for you ...

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!

Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

Help syncing zire 31 with windows 7 via bluetooth

I am trying to sync my palm zire 31 to windows 7 via bluetooth. So, far no luck! i want to know if it is even posible with my zire? I recently purchased my zire via ebay. So, I have yet to hotsync! help me Please! And, is this the best way for me to try to hotsync in the first place? I have tried repeatedly to hotsync via usb.....but no luck!
Post relates to: Zire 31

The Zire31 does not have a BlueTooth radio in it... The method you are trying will not work.
There are no USB drivers in Vista64 or Win7 64 bit, so syncing via a cable is out too.
Your option is using IrDA (Beaming). Please read the large "Windows7 and Vista HotSync instructions here" thread for some guidance.

How do I connect my Centro to the Internet via bluetooth over PC's Internet? Where is Centro's PPP Connection Type? How do I setup Login Script for bluetooth connection?

I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
(1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
(2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
(3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access.
Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
(3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
First script:
Send: CLIENT
Send: CLIENT
Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
End:
Script 1 Connect Log:
=======================================
Connect Log
S: client
S: client
R:
Err: 0x121F <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it.
Not connected
========================================
I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
Second script:
Send CR:
Delay: 1
Send: CLIENT
Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
End
**UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share. If not, please share any ideas.
Thanks!
-Eric

I've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!
